| Message | This bill is simply to get local governments to amass data with respect to domesticated animals. That way, dangerous pets can be dealt with, pet owners can be targeted for "spay and neutering" campaigns, and most importantly, rapid measures can be taken to prevent the spread of dangerous and expensive agrigulturally based animal disease. |

| Message | We are not sure about this bill at the moment. We fear SSP's suggestions will produce more bureaucracy though her intention has merits. As a three island Empire the fear of wide spread diseases is limited to the island. We may close habours if needed. But as mentioned before we are not sure whether we are in favour or in oppose if this bill. |

| Message | Islands provide nice natural barriers to localize disease. However, the trade in domesticated agricultural animals does cross the Islands. For instance, if Mad Cow disease is found on Uleroth, registration would let us know which herds to quarantine on Shadar Island - namely those heards with animals born in Uleroth. Essentially, it will give government the tools to quickly and effectivley deal with agricultural disease outbreaks. Currently, without any data whatsoever, our ability to do so is compromised. |

| Message | Well, good arguments. We will follow your argumentation and support this bill as it seems to offer more benefits for our Empire. And a brilliant campaign for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture too. It seems the SSP has some high qualified agricultural experts in her rows. Congrats. |

| Message | Yes. And in order to empower the MInister to handle these problems, domesticated farm animals, like cows and sheep, ought to be registered, so that when we have an outbreak, we know which animals might be infected in various regions of the nation. |
